Luzicrs Patent 'Yz. 65,791, dated June 18, 1867.

IMPROVEMENT InV ricorre.

TO ALL WHOM I'I MAY CONCERN: I

Be it known that I, lllARSH.-\LL BURNET'1, of Boston, Suffolk ccunty,.State of hlassachusetts, have invented certain lnew and useful Improvements in Faucets and I do hereby declare the following description and accompanying drawings are suflicient to eziable'any person skilled in the a-rt or science to which it most nearly appertains, to make and use my said invention or improvenlents without further invention or experiment.,

The nature'of my invention and improvements consists in the combination and arrangement of devices described andnclaiined in the following specification.'

' Figure lis an elevation of a faucet with my improvements.

Figure 2 is a vertical central section without the lever. l VIn these drawings, B is a supplying tube fitted for. inserting into the pipe or vessel from which the liquid is to be drawn. This tube terminates in the cylinder A, made in the form shown, or in such other form as will answer the purpose, andis provided with an inner cylinder, C, which is joined to thecylinderA. below the tube B, and extends up a little above the opening from the tube B, so that the liquid flowing in through B will risc between C and A and low down through C out of the faucet. I out a screw on the cylinder A and lit the cap D to it, and perforate the cap for the stem E of the valve F to traverse in when the valve is Worked. This valve is made large :sov as to nearly lill the interior'ol the cylinder A, Aand .so that when it is pushed down on to the end ot' the cylinder to close it, the valve will nieve against the water flowing up around the cylinder C, and be closed 'slower than if the'valve' did not act against the How of water. And as the valve is pushed down *the water passes slowly up around it into the charnber above, which tends to prevent the water from hammering the Valve. There isa recess turned in the under side of the valve F for the India-rubber packing Gr, which is held in by the conical-headed screw H, which conical head gradually narrows the opening in the cylinderC,

when the valve is closed to prevent thewater from hammering the valve. 'lhere is an India-rubber sp1'ing,E,

'substantially as shown and described.

around. the stem of the valve, which enters recesses inthe' valve and in the cup, and pack-stilo cap around the Vstem to prevent any leak of the liquid. The upper end of the stein E is perforated for the screw which con- 'nects it to the lever I. The lower end of this lever works against the top of the cap D toraise the valve when the lever is vibrated in one direction, and when it is vibrated in the opposite directionY the -cains J on the lever act under the flanges K on .the cheeks L of the cap, so as to force the valve down against the upward flow of the water.- In lig. l the cheek is omitted to show the cam'on the lever, and in iig. 2 the' lever is" omitted to show the-flange on the cheek L. There is a ring of India rubber put in the capte pack the end of the cylinder when the cap is screwed on. I make a `screw-thread on the lower end of the cylinder A, and lit the discharge pipe l? to it. Before I screw on the pipe P,I put into it a strainer of wove wire and a packing ring of `India. rubber to perfect the faucet.

Iclaim a faucet having thc cylinder valve F, cone Il, and cam-lever I J, all constructed and arranged -MARSHALL BURNETT.
